"I'll tell you my opinion... I personally find it easier to read when new comments are posted to the end of a conversation. That's the place I go first when looking for new comments. Then I'll skim the last page to see if any new posts above catch my…"
"Thanks, Jeff. It wasn't those, though: I didn't know them! I think the Green Lantern one is likely to have been the model for the Shazam! cover.

Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
